Paul,
Thanks for the info.
This is good news for us this side of the World as most birds are not really use due to small footprint.
I am active on most birds but only contact with ZS are regular, particularly with my good friend Andre (ZS2BK), also made a few QSO’s with India and with Thailand but most of the time I have the bird for myself and experimenting a lot with power, telemetry etc… Therefore larger footprint will make more QSO’s possible this side.
